Medications

If a patient’s symptoms are not producing an increasing discomfort in his healthy life, then the doctor might suggest some topical over-the-counter creams, pads, ointments or suppositories in order to calm the swelling. The topical creams and products contain ingredients like hydrocortisone, witch hazel, and lidocaine and all these ingredients help in relieving the pain and itching but temporarily. Moreover, it is essential to note that do not use the prescribed steroid cream for longer than a week because it might cause thinness of the skin.
